Kingsclere is a large village and civil parish in the county of Hampshire, England. Kingsclere is located near to Watership Down, the setting of Richard Adams' 1972 novel Watership Down.
Kingsclere is situated approximately equidistant (13 km /8 miles) from the towns of Basingstoke and Newbury on the A339 road.
Kingsclere benefits from a long established friendly village culture and many local organisations and volunteer groups.
The village has a selection of local shops and businesses, healthcare services, a primary school and varied outdoor facilities. It also has an extensive network of green lanes and paths, glades and the Kingsclere stream. Treasured areas known by the villagers, such as 'the rec.', 'the ducks' and 'shepherds steps' are usually overlooked by the casual visitor, but add greatly to village life.
There are three Christian churches, Kingsclere Methodist Church, Saint Mary's Anglican Church, and Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church.
There she goes, Miss Heartattack
That girl is gone, ain't comin' back
Love we had, call it yesterday
But now is now, today's today
And when the sun is shinin'
I still feel the same
And when the rain is comin' down
I'm hurtin' with the pain
I've been here before
No love, no way, no more
Am I just a fool to fall for love
Put my heart in gunnysack
Dress it up in black on black
Take it down to Congo Square
Raise it from the dead down there
And when the sun is shinin'
I will feel no pain
And when that rain is pourin' down
